Let's say you have rails. One mod overrides it to change the textures. The second mod overrides it to make it conductive. If you have to say all the properties of the node when you override it, it can only be changed once. This function allows multiple mods to change multiple parts of a node without it breaking.

at least I don't think so. under US copyright law that would probably be considered a core function of the system and would be allowed under the same rules that allow things like loading the program into memory in order to run it

under the Fair Use exceptions to US Copyright law, things like sending program logic/data/artwork to a server's clients, if that's what it takes to make that data work properly, would be exempt because it's impossible for the system to work any other way

there is either case law/precedent, or actual codified law, I forget which, that says in no uncertain terms, that things like loading a program into memory in order to run it, or temporarily caching/buffering a live video stream, images from a webpage (and indeed the whole web page), etc also does not constitute infrigement

In war you are pretty good off being a farmer. Your field is not that likely to be bombed and you can earn a lot by changing gold for food. Every war will be over some day and if you got enough gold you can buy everything.

thats what i dont get about some BTC supporters though, when they talk about the collapse of fiat currencies and the economy... if the economy goes to hell, their btc's wont be worth shit to anyone but them lol (and even that's if people can still afford computers and internet connections)
